After confirming he was retired from acting, the 63-year-old comedy star found one role irresistible enough to draw him back into the spotlight. He has since portrayed the character on three occasions, and may be set for a fourth appearance.
Jim Carrey, known for his iconic roles in films like The Grinch and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, has found a new passion in his performance as an on-screen villain which has since earned him plaudits for his on-screen presence. The veteran comic has delighted fans with his portrayal of Dr. Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series, appearing in three instalments so far. There's buzzing excitement among his followers as Jim Carrey himself has said he would "consider" reprising his role as the zany villain in the anticipated 2027 sequel.
Devoted fans are crossing their fingers that the role which lured him out of retirement will continue to showcase what some are hailing as his most entertaining performance in years. Admirers have been vocal on social media, with one writing: "I swear he's just like 'I don't feel like acting anymore, but Sonic is my guilty pleasure exception!' I love it!" Another replied: "Can't blame him.".
Others point to personal reasons behind his choices, with a fan explaining: "He said he's got grandkids that love Sonic and he makes a ton of money from these movies just getting to act like his old goofy self from the 90's with a director that pretty much lets him do whatever he feels like. As of now, the Sonic movies are just fun for him.".
